Hulk Heats up The Copa Libertadores Final
Atlético Mineiro forward Hulk stated this Friday that Botafogo is experiencing "its best moment in Brazilian football" and is "the favorite" for the Copa Libertadores final, which will take place this Saturday at the Estadio Monumental. However, he warned that these types of matches are decided by small details: "It’s a final. The team that stays more focused and makes fewer mistakes wins," the Brazilian declared.
In the pre-match press conference, Hulk highlighted Botafogo's strong collective play but assured that the Galo already has a strategy to challenge the Carioca club's defense: "We know how to create difficulties for them to achieve our goal." He also emphasized that his team is in top shape after an intense week of training: "Tomorrow we’ll give it our all."
A special match for Hulk
The forward did not hide the personal importance of this match: "It’s the most important match of my life, and I’m going to give everything on the field to win this meaningful title," he said with determination.
Asked about his clash with Botafogo player Luiz Henrique in a recent Campeonato Brasileiro match, Hulk was clear: "I defended my club, but he’s forgiven. I hope he learns, grows as a player, and represents the national team well. May God bless his career."
